Why might I need more compensation?
One thing many workers might not be aware of is that worker’s compensation doesn’t always provide you with adequate compensation. Sometimes employers even remove an employee from their health insurance benefit list if their work-related injury has them out of work. To make matters worse, you aren’t exactly compensated at the same rate you were if you had still been working. Therefore, if you feel there is more to your injury and something else was a leading factor, you could possibly be awarded more for your pain and suffering than from what you received in your worker’s compensation settlement.
What do I need to do to start receiving some sort of compensation for my work-related injury?
The State of Utah Labor and Commission department has broken down the necessary steps a person would need to take to get their claim filed. You can click here for the full list. Keep in mind that any benefits received from your employer or their insurance company are under a worker’s compensation claim, not a personal injury claim.
When should I file a personal injury lawsuit if I was harmed on the job?
In most instances, a person would file suit after they have settled their worker’s compensation claim. However, because every case varies and your circumstances may differ from the next person, it is always best to seek legal advice first before attempting to make any decisions or proceed forth with a lawsuit when it isn’t exactly the most beneficial time for you to do so.
